Forth Ports container terminals will be equipped with industry leading technology to electronically receive or provide the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) for all laden export containers scheduled to be loaded on board after 0001 hours on 1st July 2016.
Both London and Grangemouth container terminals have invested heavily in weighing technology that ensures the integrity of the existing operational procedures for both landside and shipside operations, providing flexible options for customers to submit or acquire a VGM ahead of loading cut off times. We will be equipped to provide weights that will be fully compliant with the new International Maritime Organisation legislation.
This document outlines the general processes and charging schedules in place at both the London and Grangemouth container terminals.
